Small but Smart

Small but Smart explores enthralling room concepts and convincing spatial solutions for the efficient use of limited space.

The aim to live in a mini house can have various reasons: for many, it represents a better, more liveable existence based on what is necessary, possible and desired, making one's life easier, more economical and more sustainable.

Limiting the floor space encourages a focus on essentials to integrate what one needs for life. With well-thought-out planning, cleverly organised floor plans and intelligent, compact concepts, a lot of space can be created in a small area.

Nowadays, both do-it-yourself protagonists and established architects, alongside hip design studios, have embraced the interesting challenge of developing sophisticated solutions for small homes and tiny houses.

This volume presents a diverse range of projects differing in architectural style, construction method and interior design.
